Chris doesnt possess the
imaginative capacity to invent
worlds that dont exist he cant
invent a world where things
happen if they HAVENT
ACTUALLY HAPPENED!
Trust
A black and white concept for Chris
You either have it or you dont
He trusts only his parents and his teacher
He cannot trust anyone else as they are unpredictable and
they dont accommodate his rules of order.
Christophers father
Chris trusts his dad because he has no reason not to. But Chris dad breaks his trust
lies about mother and dog.
Chris dad wanted to minimise the trauma of Chris mothers disappearance as he
believes that Chris wont be able to understand the emotional/behavioural complexities
of their marriages disintegration.
He regrets the lies and the dog , but his explanations lie in the murky area between truth
and justification Chris doesnt understand he is not equipped to deal with shades of
grey and he becomes distraught.
